Pay It Forward 2011

As I was perusing through my Google Reader today, I came across this challenge on MessyCarla's blog. It's called Pay It Forward 2011 and the rules are as such:

"Pay it forward 2011.... I promise to make something handmade for the first five people who comment. They must, in turn, post this and make something for the first five who comment on their post. The rules are that it has to be handmade by you, and they must receive it before 2011 ends."

I think this is such a fun idea! I've always been crafty (you should see the handmade gifts my sorority little got while she was pledging - can we say spoiled!!) so this is right up my alley! Carla decided to up the ante and do the first 10 people who commented, but as this is my first time participating and I want to make sure it's right, I'm going to give handmade presents to the first five people who comment on this. If you'd like to participate, please comment on this post with your email address so I can get in touch with you. Also, be sure to repost this on your blog, and be serious about sending out your presents to your people - otherwise it defeats the purpose of paying it forward!
